Research Program

MFC undertakes quantitative and qualitative research studies in order to provide an insight into the drivers of customer behavior and market development

We carry out enterprise and MFI surveys and research projects to deepen knowledge and understanding of the microcredit and SME finance market in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. The results of our studies have been used to inform the development of new financial products and policies facilitating access to financial services.

Our regional network of consultants and relationships with national research agencies means that we can deliver a study that responds that to the local context, and in the local language.

We specialize in the following themes:

• Financial health
• Over-indebtedness
• Access to finance
• Demand for microfinance services
• Supply of microfinance services
• Entrepreneurship and value chains
• Microinsurance
